Chapter 3
I felt very nervous for some reason after Sesshoumaru left me with those words…
“I don’t deserve to remember what I lost back then on top of what I lost now.”
Back then…..back then? Back when? What did he lose back then? Why was he so pained to lose that little girl now? Back when?
I made my way towards camp, the image of Sesshoumaru’s teary eyes frozen into my mind. Then it hit me. He couldn’t have been referring to anything else, could he? If he was saying what I think he was, it’s strange that Sesshoumaru still remembers that. It was over 70 years ago. Hell, even I had cleared it from my mind. Although, I suppose considering his age, that’s not too long ago for him. Did my brother really consider it a loss? I was so ashamed of it, I guess I never considered that he might not be. But, wasn’t he ashamed at the time? I lay next to the fire at camp; everyone else was napping as the sun began to descend below the horizon. Memories rushed into my mind, triggered by that look in his eyes….
“Inuyasha” my mother called. I was twelve at the time. I came running up to her.
“Yes, mother?” I responded as I nestled my head against her shoulder.
“I have something important to tell you.”
That was when my mother explained to me the existence of my elder half-brother, and the fact that he was coming to stay with us for awhile. Father had passed away a couple of years ago, and his sister who had been taking care of the future Lord had fallen ill.
“Sesshoumaru is many years your senior, Inuyasha, although his appearance will not show it. Full demons age slow, because they live forever.”
Live forever, huh? That must be nice.
A week after that he showed up. I had been so anxious to meet him, that finally I would have a playmate; little did I know that was never intended to be his function. I remember the first time I laid eyes on him. He looked exactly as he does now. The same way he’s looked for hundreds of years. The way he’ll probably look until the day he dies.
“Mama, who is this pretty woman?” I had innocently asked. Within seconds of uttering these words, he had his fingers grasped my throat tightly as he held my back up against the wall. I guess he was pretty anxious to show me that he was all man. He then flung me quickly to the ground.
“Stay there, boy.” He commanded. I remember feeling that obedience wasn’t an option.
He followed my mother into the kitchen and I could hear from the other room a rather serious conversation happening. I perked my doggy ears and listened carefully.
“Your father had wished it.”
“He is dead now.”
“Don’t act so callous, you would not disobey an order from him, dead or alive.”
“Hmpf!”
“Besides, your not an adult yet, I don’t care how many battles you’ve fought or how many years you’ve lived, you need to be cared for now, you’re young yet for a demon.”
I heard an exasperated sigh, and then…
“A year. A year, not because I need a damn thing from you woman, but for my father.”
They then returned to the foyer.
“Inuyasha….I would like you to meet your brother, Sesshoumaru.”
I smiled at him, rubbing my throat where he had grabbed me.
“Inuyasha.” He greeted me simply, “This Sesshoumaru is your brother for now.”
